Visiting from the States. Must go to for breakfast. A group of 7. Fast friendly service. Atmosphere was quite pleasant. Waitress was the best! Half/half Hot Chocolate delicious. Very busy but no wait for seating our group. Never heard of baked beans for breakfast. My Omelette was good and tasty. Baked beans and cup of oatmeal was very hardy. Rye toast.

We stopped in for a spontaneous brunch here today and had a really great experience. We loved the service, food, and atmosphere and can't say enough good things. Our server was very thoughtful towards us and mindful of our toddler's needs as well which made dining out much easier and enjoyable. Thank you! We'll be back!

Always a great breakfast here with friendly staff. Tried mega breakfast, crepes banana chocolate for breakfast and wasn’t disappointed. And of course, brewed coffee. Good food, prices and service. Huge breakfast menu. Will try again!

We enjoyed an amazing reference standard breakfast experience this morning at Korner Kitchen Breakfast and Lunch Eaterery, Clearly we were not amongst the numerous regulars that frequent every morning but we were welcomed just as warmly and graciously! Their selection of breakfast was substantial and we opted for a California Benedict and of course chicken fried steak! Everything was cooked to absolute perfection, full of flavor and not greasy at all. The decor of the restaurant was modern and upscale and bathrooms were immaculately clean. The coffee never got more than an inch below the lip before it was refilled by all of the hard-working friendly servers! For sure this will not be our last time dining here! An easy five stars and highly recommended!

Korner kitchen truly sets the bar in KW for breakfast and lunch. Great value, great food and service and a beautiful atmosphere. The only other place I’d put in the same category is Fireside in Kitchener but I’d give the edge to Korner Kitchen due to the updated and energetic atmosphere. Also don’t be discouraged by line ups. They get you in quick.

I've dined here for several occasions, and each time is a great experience. The servers are friendly and attentive. They come and check on you several times throughout your meal. The food quality is great, and they have large portions. This restaurant is great for breakfast and lunches. It's a great location for business or personal meet-ups. I've tried their eggs benedict, and Greek salad. Both were amazing, and I would go back to order them again.

Solid 8.763/10 place to enjoy a morning meal. Service was great to the point of me wishing that I never ordered a coffee (you are frequently offered a refill - nice but repetitively bothersome, you feel me?). Food, so many options! Great menu, something for everyone. Me and the Mrs. both enjoyed what we ordered, the protein and Mexican hash with a side of goopy oatmeal. Pro tip: do not get the multigrain bread, just opt-into the regular white shiz, the Mrs. caused me to be down $0.35 because of this brown bread. Atmosphere was stellar, way more than I expected. It felt so fancy. Everyone from a man in a suit that looked like he was going to propose to tradesmen in yellow vests were here - clearly, the place to be. Par-tay place over at the Korner Kitchen. Overall, great breakfast. A tad expensive, but we both took home leftovers, two meals for the price of one (price of one meal in THIS economy!) baaaabyyyyy!!! Score! I would definitely recommend.

My favourite brunch place in Waterloo hands down. The food is delicious, the portions are great. And it is very affordable! The atmosphere is very homey and the service and staff are great. It is usually busy when I’ve went but I’ve never had to wait a super long time, if you’re waiting, it goes by pretty quickly and they are able to seat people quite shortly after being put on a list. Whether you’re a sweet vs. savoury person, there’s something for everyone on the menu. I’ve gone there a few times and the staff there are all so friendly - Brenda specifically has served me several times and is awesome! If you’re a fan of crab cakes - they have really good crab cakes here!!

I would normally give this place 5 stars but today my companion and I waited 30 min for breakfast. When my meal finally arrived, I noticed they overcooked my steak. I didnt get my meal back until my companion was finished their meal. The food that I eventually was served was cooked correctly and tasted great. Thankfully, the server was apologetic and attentive (it was obviously not their fault). They still charged me full price for my meal though which was disappointing.

The Mega Breakfast is not just a meal; it s an event, a marathon on a plate. I thought I knew what I was getting into mega implies big, sure. But nothing prepared me for the mountain of food that arrived. This breakfast isn t just large; it s *comically* enormous. Picture this: towers of fluffy pancakes, a kingdom of crispy hash browns, enough eggs to feed a small army, bacon stacked like firewood, and sausages that seem to multiply every time you think youre almost done. Each item is delicious on its own, but together? It s a buffet on a single plate. Honestly, you ll need strategy, courage, and maybe a friend or two to help you tackle this. But if you re up for it, the reward is well worth the attempt. It s a challenge wrapped in bacon, and one I d gladly take on again.

The only downside that made me drop a single star from 5 to 4, is the fact that you will probably have to wait to be seated... BUT, that fact is almost moot because the rest (food, atmosphere, service) are ALL truly worth the wait!!!

Local restaurant.. Business is so good that even though it closes early, the restaurant is busy.. If you go around 9 a.m., there is a wait. The soup of the day changes every day and is truly incredibly delicious. You must eat it, but dont go too early and you can eat it around lunch time. Sometimes, when I make a mistake, I hear the server in charge tell me to be polite... I was lying down because I was tired, and he said a lot of things. But it was still very delicious. My choice is the classic breakfast, white toast, scrambled eggs, oatmeal + peam... and drip coffee... butter on the toast. It comes out salty and really delicious. When I go to Korea, the guys at the soup restaurant in the morning are laughing and eating hangovers, but here the guys are sitting at the corner kitchen bar and eating hangovers haha.

We used to love this place until we got a server with a serious attitude problem. From the minute we got in there she was short with us and not being very kind. We ended up expressing our dissatisfaction with one of our orders and she proceeded to blame us by saying we should ask for less of something instead of acknowledging and helping us resolve the problem. It was a real disappointment to be scolded and disrespected by our server when we were just trying to have a nice family meal. I dont feel comfortable with coming back here after this experience.

Food is really good here for breakfast. I really live their sausage and egg breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun. Its always packed and has a bit of a long line for a Saturday or Sunday brunch. Its a good sign because it shows how good the food is, just be prepared to wait as they dont take reservations. Considering how busy the place is, the servers do their best to be attentive to every table. No complaints there, just be aware of what the workers are dealing with in terms of volume, show them so grace, as nearly every seat is full. Planning to go again for my birthday brunch with family just for that breakfast sandwhich!

Solid place for breakfast/brunch - generous portions and fresh ingredients. Especially good value for kids who order off the kids menu. Note: hashbrowns are shredded, not the patty kind. Modernized decor from when it was Bennys (did not visit between Bennys and Korner Kitchen). Their patio is not open/available. They are only open until early afternoon and dont take reservations. That said, it wasnt too long of a wait for a group of 8 on (summer) Saturday morning.

Great breakfast spot in the Waterloo University/College area. With the three schools in proximity and a residential area right beside it is usually pretty full. Good portions, great taste and a decent cup of coffee. It is busy so it isnt the best for a quiet weekend breakfast unless you go early but their staff is courteous and quick. I cant complain and will go again for sure.

Amazing restaurant! My family and I go almost every week. Food is so delicious and extremely reasonably priced. The chefs are always generous and consistent. Service is always great even though they are busy busy busy. The owner Kate is wonderful and kind and really knows how for in a good business. Only thing I will say is there is usually a wait to be seated, especially on the weekends. It s definitely worth it if you re not going due if hunger and usually isn t too long. If you re going on a week day you shouldn t have to wait for long or at all. 10/10 would highly recommend. Vegetarian options: Lots if vegetarian options. Some of the best are the Portobello Benedict, Greek Asparagus Omelet, Vegetarian Omelet, Vegetarian Skillet and Avocado Toast. But there are many more and all very tasty. Dietary restrictions: They are very accommodating and helpful. I have a family member with dairy allergies and he is always able to find something enjoyable to eat.

Food was ok, a bit pricey for what you get. Service was not on par with our last visit. A bit of a turn off as we wanted to try different establishments more often.

Awful Experience, Pricey and so Disappointing Breakfast and service My todays visit to Korner Kitchen for breakfast left me disappointed. I ordered the avocado eggs and requested two extra egg whites, expecting a nominal charge as stated on the menu. However, I was shocked to find an $8 charge for just two egg whites. When questioned, the explanation was that each egg white cost $2.75 plus an additional fee for separating the yolk. This pricing is unreasonable considering I could buy thirty whole eggs for the same price. The dish itself lacked flavor and freshness, adding to my disappointment. Overall, Korner Kitchen provided a pricey and unsatisfactory breakfast experience. Feeling disappointed by the unexpectedly high charges, I chose not to bring the matter to the attention of the manager. Hosting a gathering of friends, I didnt want to sour the mood with a potential confrontation. Despite my frustration, I decided to keep my concerns to myself, wanting to ensure that our gathering would be remembered positively by my friends.

As a lot of reviewers have already mentioned this is an excellent place to get brunch or an early breakfast and it really is. ( I have never been for lunch though). If you are reading this or other people reviews and are looking for a restaurant to go to for breakfast in the Waterloo area ,come to Korner Kitchen. Only thing is yes there will be a bit of a wait so be prepared to wait a couple of minutes ( not long though). Only con i have is it s a bit pricey but where isn t now a days

Weve been for both breakfast and lunch and the food, service and atmosphere was great. We had to wait for a table for breakfast but that only took about 15 minutes. We would highly recommend this place and well definitely be going again.

My daughter and grandsons took me there for Mothers Day. I was so surprised that without a reservation we only waited 30 minutes. The place was so busy. The server came right away and took our drink order within 2 minutes. She was very pleasant. The menu was for lunch and breakfast. Very reasonable cost for breakfast and had a great variety. The lunch was your typical burgers, wraps, fish and chips, and appetizers. I believe everything on the menu came to under $20. Everyone else had breakfast and I ordered lunch. They also had a choice of alcohol. Everyone loved the breakfast. The portions were very good. The presentation was great. My crispy chicken wrap with fries was delicious. I had to take half of my lunch to go. It was very filling. The waitress came at all the right times to check on us. I only had one complaint is the atmosphere was noisy but to be expected on Mothers Day. I wish I wouldve took photos. We had a wonderful, memorable time. I would go there again and recommend it to anyone that is looking for a decent meal or just a coffee or a beer at the bar. Parking: The parking is great but being a holiday we had to drive around the parking lot twice to get a spot. But that was expected.

I m ashamed that we ve only come here now! This place is a gem! If I could give more stars I would. The service from walking in the door was outstanding, so welcoming. Food was delicious and the portion size was generous. Also the decor gets a big thumbs up. Must mention that the tea pots are the best size and don t drip which for a tea drinker is a like a unicorn! Definitely coming back and will recommend to everyone!

My friends and I love having brunch at Korner Kitchen. There are lots of healthy options on the menu. Food is mostly cooked perfectly and most dishes look and taste delicious. I love waffles, the Fiesta skillet, most of the omelettes, and generally the quality and freshness of ingredients used. The drip coffee tastes great, too. However, some of the sweeter breakfast options at this restaurant are a little too sweet for my liking. The hash browns could also be crispier and better seasoned. In my experience, the staff at Korner Kitchen has gone above and beyond providing a great service to their guests. The interior is bright, spacious, and clean, with a positive vibe. It is definitely one of my go-to restaurants for brunch in the KW area.

A solid breakfast diner experience, with quick service, cheap eats, large portions, and good food. I got the classic breakfast with peameal bacon with an additional side of beans. Their freshly squeezed orange juice was the highlight.

My family comes here often, but this was my first time. I enjoyed my experience here, from the start to my last bite. These strawberry-cream cheese French toast are so delicious, and highly recommend. I also enjoy some of the California Club, and will definitely be getting it again on my next visit.

Honestly dont get the hype for this place and why it has the rating it does - food is not bad but not very good either. Latte is not good at all - only 1 shot of espresso and the cup was like half filled. Our food was also very undersalted and lacked flavour.

FANTASTIC food and service. The only problem is the secret is out, so its very busy most of the time. The prices are great too. Chef in the back is doing Gods work. Never seen so many dishes made to perfection every time. He or shes the unspoken hero. Highly recommend but just get there early especially if you have a bigger group.

Beautiful place and has good service. Busy on the weekend, we waited for about 15 min. Portion is large. The food is normal, nothing unusual. The taste was what you can do at home. Not sure how to describe it differently really. I was not wowed with the food compared to some other breakfast places . Still recommend it.
